usually

every Falcon, like most other types will do "book numbers" without any problems..if you adhere to the speed and altitude schedules corrected for temps they will always do it..( it is not always practical to do so, but that is not the point)

a common problem, especially on large cabin types is, that some "payload" is neither accounted for on the weighed BOW nor in the W&B sheet..

years ago, when an operator of such an aircraft claimed that it was not making range specs, a very simple investigation found out that this operator had a whopping 1000 lbs in additional catering supplies in the form of heavy china and silverware spread all over the bird, which never had been included in the BOW or W&B...problem solved..
